Former Kogi West Senator, Dino Melaye, has accused the embattled factional National Chairman of the African Democratic Congress, ADC, Nafiu Bala of commercializing his conscience.
Melaye made the remark while noting that Bala was present at the party’s National Executive Committee, NEC, meeting in which the Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC, ratified the leadership of Interim National Chairman, David Mark, Rauf Aregbesola and others.
Melaye disclosed this during an interview with Arise television on Wednesday night.
He said the NEC meeting, held on July 29, 2025, was attended by Nafiu and monitored by INEC.
Melaye further alleged that Bala, who is currently contesting the leadership, had participated in the same meeting that endorsed the new leadership structure.
He said: “On July 29, 2025 we had a NEC meeting that Nafiu was present. In that meeting the leadership of Aregbesola, David Mark and others were ratified.
“The one who has commercialized his conscience, the one was is laying claims now was present at that meeting, INEC was also present at that meeting.
“INEC monitored that NEC meeting; in August we wrote INEC to say that David Mark, Aregbesola are now occupying their positions though they were present and they certified receiving that.
“At that point from May 29, David Mark authentically became the National Chairman because NEC is the highest making decision body of the party, and Nafiu went to court on September 2, 2025.
“Meanwhile ratification of David Mark by INEC was done before September.
“If you ask me what the situation was before September 2nd, it was that David Mark was the Chairman of ADC and Nafiu resigned on May 17.”
